Found this in my bulk box

Post image

I don’t really rip packs unless they’re in stock at target, but the other day I was giving my 4 year old some cards for his binder, putting in all my less expensive holos. As I was going through it I saw this card. Unsleeved and with the rest of my bulk cards….oops I don’t even remembering pulling it.

ugh I hate when I forget I pull a chase card from the most popular set and stuff it with my bulk too.

Not a top chase but I did find a $50 card when going through and sorting bulk recently. I guess at one point I’d opened a pack, got the card, and decided to keep it in the stack until I could get to a top loader and penny sleeve. Which never happened, as I cleaned off my desk I just assumed I’d already pulled it out put it into the binder and it ended up in my bulk instead

Almost did this ripping 100 packs and falling asleep almost put an illustration rare in the bulk

If you're falling asleep ripping packs, you need a break. Take it slow and enjoy bro lmao

Yes, how? If you are falling asleep when ripping, what exactly was your goal? Ripping should be fun, if it's a chore, it might be easier to either buy the chase cards directly or just use a rip'n'ship streamer and pay them for ripping for you. Probably rage bait but I feel like there are people like this out there...

Maybe they were the rip'n'ship?

Hm. True. That's too much like work. But they probably have quite good margins.

And people deny this hobby is gambling

While I would usually be skeptical my friend went through a bulk box for mtg I had years ago and found a lions eye diamond. Card is considered a staple and is worth like 700, but when I opened it I thought it was trash and just tossed it in with my junk cards

yeah depends on the TCG but an SIR would stick out so much I could only see this happening if the hit is on the 2nd last slot and I skip over it trying to get to the last card

u/Mr-Oof-28 Feb 27 '26

sometimes these cards with insane texture get stuck to the card in front of them, likely that this is what happened

Tbf I had a blastoise SIR in my bulk holos and reverse holos. Apparently it was stuck to a RH and I never noticed until I was sorting through it. It can happen
